I still can't believe time passed by so fast that we've met and have you for 6 months now.
You have definitely bring joy and happiness...

By the sea...

Today,
you wore a bikini for the first time,
you were at the beach for the first time,
you had the sea breeze brushed thru your face for the first time
you felt the texture of the sand for the first time,
you smelled the scent of the sea for the first time,
you saw the horses' face close enough that you could smell it's breath for the first time,
you had the parachute flew over your head for the first time,
you were in the swimming pool with Pa for the first time,
you tasted a little ice-cream for the first time.


Today,
sky was blue,
water was green,
sand was golden.

Today,

everyone is by the beach,

your little friend Cayden, Jordan, Aaron, auntie Linna & uncle Sam, auntie Peggy & uncle Daryl, Kim, Leng Lui Po Po & ah Kung...

No more drool

Chinese believes that by holding this little ceremony on the 100th days of the baby's life:

1. with biscuits

where you hang a bunch of biscuit around baby's neck, so that they could go on and lick and take a bite on the biscuit, the mother will then have to eat those biscuits, the baby will stop drooling (WOW...no more bibs)

2. with drumstick

prepare and cook drumstick to make it the most delicious, let the baby taste and lick the drumstick, the baby will not have any problem while teething, and from this day onwards they can start to go on and become a carnivore, meaning they can start to have meat in their diet, they have more choice in food from this day onwards (WOW)

Mommy didn't hold this little ceremony for you.

Main reason is: I don't believe in this and I don't think I could relate this to any scientific and medical facts.

However, you do have a chance to take part in this too because auntie Peggy was holding one for Cayden and so happen we visited. So, you got the chance to wear the biscuits chain and licked the biscuits with Cayden's saliva on it. Yes, you hear me right, haha. You were really fast and greedy while licking and biting on those little biscuits. But you don't like the drumstick part, you started crying and got cranky.

Guess what, you are still drooling big time weeks after borrowing and taking part in Cayden's ceremony.
This is fun. Thanks to anutie Peggy & Cayden.

Sleeping with toy

Caught you holding one of your favorite toy while sleeping.
That is one of your favorite toy bough for you by Da Ee.

You cherish and love your toys now, but when you grow older, you will learn to cherish something more valuable - MEMORIES

Weekend getaway

We went back to see Ah kong and Ah ma during the weekend.
You were surrounded by all your cousins.

You seem to be enjoying your stay quite a fair bit as you were being carried by so many people in the house to places where you were busy looking and observing many activities and different sounds all over the place.

A weekend with you

You seems like you've grown a fair bit when mommy took you home this week.

Totally in good and playing mood.
You were laughing out loud so hard every time I said: naughty girl...bad...bad...bad...

I am just not sure how exactly does funny expression and our tone is working for you right now or what you've heard exactly as it surely sounded so amusing to you and you were laughing at the same sentence I said for like 15 mins, amazing...

But you might started to think what a complete idiot I was when you look back 10-15 years from now.

A weekend with you always just passed by so quick before I even realising it.

Looking at your face that is as pure as the spring water make me feel clam.

And it is always the simple time we share that make mommy feel most happy.

Mr. Sun

Your number one favorite toy - Mr. Sun.

I guess mommy can come out with 10 reasons why you like Mr. Sun so much is:

1. easy to hold for your tiny little fingers

2. bright colors

3. different textures which is ideal for teething

4. it rattles about when shaken

5. there is a moving nose

6. it is called Mr. Sun when it looks like a flower

7. it is a gift

8. you go places with Mr. Sun

arr...arr...I fail. I can't think of any reason anymore. I'm just not really full of crap.

will add in when I have more reason for you...hee...

Standing tall & high

Pa & Ma,

I'm standing tall and high,

I want to be somebody when I grow up and give back to the society.

I believe I can fly...

I believe I can touch the sky...

....er...how do we sing that song again?

Morning Babe!

Here is your new sleeping pattern lately.

You keep changing the way you sleep.

Tummy down this time. You do sleep longer sleeping like this.

There I was eyeing on you as you woke up. Both mom & Pa pretend to be still sleeping and you were silent and quite doing your own thing, sucking your own fingers and droll like a waterfall and this silent moment were broke into laughter the moment I said "Good morning Babe!"

Sleeping with bolster

Mommy noticed you have changed your sleeping pattern this week.
From lying flat on your back to sleeping on your side with the booster. You really love to hang on to the bolster.

It did looks like you are very comfortable sleeping like this.

Sleeping Pattern

I was going thru your photo and saw this similarity in your sleeping pattern.

You tend to like to place your hand near your chin and on your chest, way when you were in the womb.

Ain't funny

Renee: are you trying to crack a joke with me?! Well, it ain't funny...try harder dude!!

Big bully

You've been very bad today.

Kakak Puwanti is helping me & Pa to baby sit you while we were out having dinner with Ah Kong. Instead of going to bed after your milky time, you have decided to turn into a monster and bullied her. You insisted that she carried you and walked around the house. You started to cry and scream the moment she put you down.
It was so tiring for her that she has no choice but to put you in her kangaroo pouch (as seen in the pic) while you were happily watching Tom & Jerry with Shaun ko ko & Vanessa che che. I was told that you even laughed along. It is so strange cause I don't think you would understand what is going on yet.
You then fell asleep after an hour plus!

You were real bad.
You big bully!

Crowning Glory

Renee: Envy of my hair?

This is how to get hair to look as nice as mine.
Drink lots of milk and do hair mask twice a week.

Twin?

Renee: Mom told me I have a twin sister. Do you think we look alike?

Got it!

Gosh, some meat got stucked in between my teeth.
It's irritating!
I got to remove it.









Got it!!
I'm a happy baby now.

2nd Government Injection

I fell sick so your father took you this time.
You were always friendly and will usually give huge smile easily but you cried when this lady in the white uniform showed up in front of you today. Mommy can't help but laughed imagining it when your father told me.
The injection went well but you did screamed and yelled a little.
No fever, and you are now 6.1KG...wow...you really grow baby!

Sunshine

My little sunshine!

Look at that chickadee huge smile.

Your smile melt my heart.

You made me want to huuuug you, squeeeze you and kiiiiss yooou...

You make my day, today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and many many more tomorrow to come.

Living Laughing Buddha

Buddha said that everyone is born a Buddha.
